Good morning,

 

My Unraid 6.12.6 system has been dealing with the /var/log getting filled due to the following repeating nginx errors:

 

nginx: 2023/12/09 18:29:33 [crit] 7289#7289: ngx_slab_alloc() failed: no memory
nginx: 2023/12/09 18:29:33 [error] 7289#7289: shpool alloc failed
nginx: 2023/12/09 18:29:33 [error] 7289#7289: nchan: Out of shared memory while allocating message of size 15595. Increase nchan_max_reserved_memory.
nginx: 2023/12/09 18:29:33 [error] 7289#7289: *213325 nchan: error publishing message (HTTP status code 500), client: unix:, server: , request: "POST /pub/devices?buffer_length=1 HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost"
nginx: 2023/12/09 18:29:33 [error] 7289#7289: MEMSTORE:00: can't create shared message for channel /devices

 

I found some other posts pertaining to the same issue; however, the resolutions do not seem to help.  This issue has been happening for quite a while and the log seems to fill faster than ever after restarting.  As of this instance, the first message seems to appear within 30 minutes of a restart.  I have attached my diagnostics file in hopes someone can point me to the root cause and pertains provide a solution.

 

Thank you,

Erik

Try booting in safe mode and/or closing any browser windows open to the GUI, only open when you need to use it then close again.

Thank you for the feedback.  I have stopped leaving browser tabs open for the system and only open as needed.  This seems to have slowed the growth of the log file.

Sorry to resurrect a little, but this is the newest topic I could find on the subject.

 

Has anything been done or is there future progress expected on fixing this? I just had my logs begin to fill up as well. Closing browser tabs didn't fix it; I had to restart nginx.

 

It's not that unreasonable to leave a browser tab open for long periods of time monitoring a server. But it is pretty undesirable that a server could end up locked up from a browser tab.
